Setup for using a FRSky Tx/Rx


Always start with a reset/new transmitter model!
NOTE: You will use the 3-Pin to 4-Pin Male to Male cable provided to connect the FR Sky Rx to the FLEXF3. This is the same cable arrangement shown on page 15 of the manual for the Futaba connections. (Non-Telemetry)


CYPHER/Betaflight Settings

Use one of the Betaflight configuration tools to make these settings. Be sure to SAVE the configuration page after adjustments.
We have not tested FRSky Telemetry at this time. If you have information, you can send it to support@flexinnovations.com and we can update our content.

Configuration Page

Betaflight Serial Provider Setting
Betaflight Channel Map Setting

Out of the box, only the 'Serial Receiver Provider' should need a change.

Receiver Mode            ->  Serial Based Receiver (Cypher Default)
Serial Receiver Provider ->  SBUS                  
Telemetry slider         ->  OFF                   (Cypher Default)

SAVE the page!

Receiver Page

Should be same as out of box, but you can check!

Channel Order            ->  TAER1234   (When Tx order is set to TAER)

SAVE the page!


FRSky Transmitter settings:

This 3rd party Josh Bardwell Video should be very helpful when setting up and FRSky Taranis for Betaflight. You will need to note/set your CH5 and CH6 switch settings below.

  • Note they set channel order to AETR (Set this) (2:50)
  • They pick a Quad Type, We suggest Airplane. (3:15)
  • 8 Channels will be fine (or your preference) (5:55)
  • Good 'End Point' section (8:20)
  • Switch set example, but not Cypher specific, see below (11:35)


Receiver with diversity and SBUS out capability recommended.
You should verify the completed settings using the tools using the BetaFlight Receiver page.
